Sep 29, 2009 12 oz. bottle from a buddy in Boston. Pours a brown amber with a medium tan head that starts rocky and vanishes quickly. Aroma of malt, nuts, caramel, and a touch of coffee. Flavor followed suit, with more coffee than the nose let on. Also some hops. Smooth, but a little too watery. Roast and coffee aftertaste. Decent, but I would expect more from a brown ale (which is what the label calls it).

Sep 28, 2009 Not a bad brown ale. Doesn’t taste like Vermont to me. Long Trail Hibernator is a much better offering.

Sep 25, 2009 whoo where to begin....decent aroma...gives a nutty/malty smell...unfortunately was the best part of the beer. Appearance was what I’d expect from a brown ale...clear ligght brown, but missing a little more head. Flavor was extremely dissapointing. Had no taste off the bat....a slight roasted nut flavor in the middle, then nothing at the end....about as bare that a brown ale can come. Palate was even worse. Had a light beer feel throughout (beer pong anybody?) . Over carbonated as well. In conclusion...a good beer to push on non appreciative friends...as for those who like real beer this gets a thumb down.

Sep 6, 2009 Bottle from 3 Sons. malty and nutty but not a big beer. A little too much carvbonation. The taste was a little dissappointing. Brown with just a little haze. Harvest ales I thought were hopped???

Sep 5, 2009 Aroma of cinnamon and cocoa.
Deep mahogany, no head.
Flavor - hints of nut and chocolate.
Watered down feel.
OK, but could have been much better.

Sep 3, 2009 Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Beige micro head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Chocolate and caramel malt aromas. Sweet and sharply carbonated with mild nutty and chocolate malts in the dry abrupt finish.

Aug 27, 2009 This poured a medium brown/red color with an off white head. Aroma was a little sweet, malty, really plain. Flavor was also just really plain a bland malt beer. Nothing offensive but nothing to talk about either.
